1 Introducing the Beardmore Centre for Health Science at the Golden Jubilee National Hospital

2 The Beardmore Legacy The Golden Jubilee National Hospital and The Beardmore Hotel and Conference Centre became part of NHS Scotland in 2002 after the purchase of a private complex by the Scottish Executive. Immediately known as the NHS National Waiting Times Centre, our NHS special health board is located on the former site of Sir William Beardmore s Naval Construction Works in Dalmuir. Once one of the largest shipyards in the UK, the Naval Construction Works opened in June 1906 with the launch of the battleship HMS Agamemnon for the Royal Navy. In addition to shipping, the enterprising Sir William manufactured passenger airplanes, cars, railway engines and motor cycles and opened an experimental civil aviation department. Beardmore was also the chief sponsor of Ernest Shackleton s 1907 Nimrod Antarctic expedition, resulting in one of the world s largest glaciers being named after him. The latest development of the site represents a further step in the progression from greenfield through shipbuilding to specialist medical referral centre. Since being brought into the NHS, the hospital has been developed into one of the most progressive facilities owned by the NHS. Patients travel from across Scotland for diagnosis and treatment at Scotland s flagship hospital to reduce patient waiting times. When it opens in 2011, the Beardmore Centre for Health Science will benefit patients across the country in the years to come. The name reflects the enterprise and innovation of Sir William Beardmore in combination with a definition of Health Science - the application of health related knowledge to improve health and prevent and cure disease

3 A new world class centre to cultivate clinical excellence, research and learning The NHS National Waiting Times Centre Board is home to the Golden Jubilee National Hospital and The Beardmore Hotel and Conference Centre a unique facility combining excellence in medicine and healthcare with excellence in conferencing and hospitality. The latest development of the Board will see The Beardmore Centre for Health Science open in 2011, providing an exceptional focal point for training and research activity with: consulting rooms specifically designed for patients who choose to participate in research studies; and training rooms equipped with state of the art conference technology and fibre optic audio visual links from our cardiac catheterisation laboratories (cath labs) and theatres, providing the opportunity for enhanced surgical skills training. The Beardmore Centre for Health Science will complement the existing services provided on our site by providing a unique combination of state of the art health care professional training facilities, a hospital and hotel resulting in an ideal venue for showcasing equipment associated with all aspects of patient care. The centre will also: enhance the experience of patients participating in clinical trials; increase the number of trials hosted by the Golden Jubilee National Hospital; provide excellent co-located hotel accommodation for patients taking part in research projects; enhance the clinical skills training experience for all health care professionals through the provision of two single bedroom ward simulation areas; provide a dedicated facility for clinical skills training involving the use of a patient simulator; enhance surgical skills training through the provision of a purposebuilt area with the ability to live stream surgical procedures from the hospital; and add four additional conference training rooms to the facilities already available within The Beardmore Hotel and Conference Centre.
